Episode One: Eight days in with thirty more on the horizon. Eleven states, traffic jams, and friends and family. Sticking fingers, face masks, and the rolling hills of Middle America. Heat, humidity, and bugs enough for your wildest dreams. Pit toilets and suspect food choices. The Great American Road Trip. Not really, just a 2300 mile traverse to get where we need to be. This is a long and rambling film. A film that makes me want to get FAR better as a filmmaker, and I will, but for now, I will plod along and enjoy the scenery.
